Description:
This "Russian Greatest Hits" journey couples the majestic architecture and overwhelming vistas in Russia with Tchaikovsky's most sweeping music. This whirlwind tour travels from Moscow's Red Square to St. Petersburg's Pushkin Theater to the Black Sea. Tchaikovsky's most popular work, the Sixth Symphony ("Pathétique"), and the lovely ballets from his greatest opera, Eugene Onegin, are gracefully played by the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Antoni Wit. Such musical accompaniment to the breathtaking visuals leads to the conclusion that this country, so rich in history and culture, obviously inspired Tchaikovsky's free-flowing melodic genius. Lone quibble: The disc's "travel notes" (briefly describing places "visited" during each section) would be more helpful if they could be accessed while viewing the program. --Kevin Filipski
